If Sam Wants 1.2 the club should make the call and either pay him or go after someone else now , we wait and we get nothing then spend stupid amounts buying 2 nd rate players to fill holes like all years before , get the deal done , the cap is going up , Luai was 1.2 million and didn’t do much , Sam Competes and does well

He won’t leave the rooothers , there just playing games

It is hard to argue that if the Chiefs sign Cleary or Walker, they'll win or come close to winning a premiership. Media are reporting there is confidence they will have one of them for the 2028 season.

"Very confident": Johns' mail on PNG's next star signing

“Apparently, they're very confident."

What is wrong with our districts and our development systems?

From what the CEO has been saying, our pathways will be getting extra attention, not sure of the details.

I understand this has been said many times, however this is one area were we have an advantage over many other clubs and hopefully we will use this our advantage.

This is our best chance of becoming stronger, along with a "Moneyball' approach to player purchase because we just don't have the cash of other clubs.

Maybe they will move Cleary to 13 like AD? lol.., I wonder if he will refuse to play ..

I see in the paper , a sports betting firm has got odds they are 15/1 to win the comp in 2028.., not bad with only 6 players signed to date …the articles didn’t mention our odds …probably a bit longer

I hope he screws them out of more money then at least

He rarely gets in the Roosters NRL 17 that takes the field each week and with the Roosters having the emerging Blake Steep and Darcy Smith amongst others in their back row, it’s likely Egan Butcher will continue to slip down the pecking order.
Most players that are not getting much NRL game time have egos telling them they should be playing NRL much more regularly and because of this they are not going to be overly concerned about moving from a club near the top of the ladder to one near the broom, as they simply have a point to prove that they are good regular NRL players.
I am guessing he would currently be on a contract of around 350k so an offer of around 400k should be enough to secure him and if he plays to his potential as a 13 on a regular basis that would be good value.

Great theory. When have we succeeded with that approach?
